Dec-21-04   gambeteer: 14. ... d5! would have been a much stronger move for black to break open the center. Black is better developed and the pawn deficit is not of great importance.
May-29-08   Eggman: It wouldn't kill players to consider actually playing out to mate once in a while. 32...gxh6 33.Nxf7+ Kh7 34.Qg6+ Rxg6 35.fxg6+ Kg8 36.h7+ Kg7 37.Bh6# deserved to see the light of day.
May-29-08   Eggman: Oops! That's makes no sense. Never mind!

  hedgeh0g: 32...gxh6 33. Qh3 or Qh4
32...g6 33. h7

So White's threat of hxg7+, followed by a ladder mate cannot be effectively parried. Great game!
